Question 945855: The area of a rectangle is 128 sq. ft. If the width is twice the length, what is the measure of the length of the rectangle? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = length in feet
y = width in feet
---
a = xy
128 = xy
---
y = 2x
---
128 = xy
xy = 128
x*2x = 128
xx = 128/2
x = sqrt( 128/2 )
sqrt( 128/2 )
